Zipcaster
The Zipcaster is a special weapon in Splatoon 3.
Appearance
Activating the Zipcaster coats the user in team-colored ink. It also gives the user a "helmet" resembling their squid or octopus form and a "scarf" resembling their tentacle, both of which depend on the user's species. The user can also stretch their arms while in this form.
Splatoon 3
Description
When used, the player can stretch their arms to grab onto far off walls and travel quickly to the targeted spot, creating a small explosion upon impact with the spot. The player can still attack with their main weapon (sub weapons are unable to be used), although both grappling with the Zipcaster and attacking with the main weapon depletes the special gauge faster. When the special gauge runs out, the player will jump back to where the special was activated, ending the special. Like the Inkjet, the return spot is visible to all players.
